Marketing Intern

McHugh is committed to helping develop the next generation of builders. We realize that today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce, and we want to ensure that the best and the brightest are wearing McHugh hardhats.

Our internship program provides a realistic view of what it’s like to work at McHugh through hands-on experiences working on the marketing/BD team. Through our 12-week internship program you’ll be able to strengthen your resume and set the foundation for your professional career. As a member of McHugh’s marketing department, the intern will work with department staff in support of internal and external marketing initiatives. While the position functions as general and administrative marketing support, the intern will also be tasked with specific marketing projects to assist him or her in the development of educational and professional interests. McHugh Construction is a fourth-generation, privately-owned company and one of the largest full-service construction firms in the U.S. We have transformed some of the most luxurious five-star hotels like the Peninsula, Ritz-Carlton Chicago, Four Seasons, constructed record setting high rise buildings with NEMA Chicago, St. Regis Chicago, Aqua Tower, and built recreational facilities at United Center and Indoor Track & Field Facility at Gately Park. We are looking for a student who has an interest in construction and the build environment, someone with strong communication and writing skills, experience with Microsoft Office Suite and/or Adobe a plus.
